I’m looking to create a simple gift showcase like www.gifts.com. Gifts.com allows merchants to submit their products to the gift showcase. Whenever a visitor clicks on the product they go directly to the product on the merchants ecommerce store. Gifts.com make money from the click just like Google makes money from its Adsense.

I don’t know what the technical name for something like this is. I originally started googling for affiliates and ended up here. OpenX can do the hard part of managing merchants advertisements and its display on a per page basis, but has anyone tried to extend the interface of OpenX so that merchants add others details such as price, textual description, product name, etc?

I really hope you might have an idea of what I’m talking about and suggestions as to where I should look.

Can you help? I’m planning on using drupal or magentocommerce for the shop front and openx for delivering the product images, text and links as an advert.

Answer:

Yes, I got what you want.

Let me tell us what I understood from your requirements.

You have one site where you want to allow other site owner to display their products. So, you will make account for all site owners as Advertiser in openx and you will store product image and some other information for product as banner in OpenX.

After that, you will integrate invocation code to your site front end and that invocation code will display those banners, Right?

Now I am listing out main things what we need to do:

à We need to make zone and banners in category wise (ex. camera, mobile, clothes etc.).

à We have to make some limitation so that product which is in camera category should not display in clothe category.

à We need to display product image along with product name and price.

à When some one clicks on product, we need to do track those clicks.

Area where we need to concern:

à If you are forcing OpenX to deliver banner once in page but sometime OpenX doesn’t follow that rule. It will display same products more than one time according to some other factors. So, we have to work on that area so that OpenX should display product only once in page.

For above requirements, we need to customize delivery engines of OpenX.

We can use latest version to reduce delivery engine’s load.

Above modification and right configuration of OpenX will take 20 days.

We are usning OpenX 2.4 verstion. now, i want to upgrade of openx 2.4 to new version without any data missing.

Answer:

We are providing upgradation services for Openx2.4 or later version to latest version, through adservermods.com.

We can upgrade your OpenX 2.4 or later version to latest one or other versions you want.

The administrator may some times find difficulties in upgrading OpenX, he/she may get server problem many times. So you dont have to waste your time in upgrading it and face the problems while upgrading.

We require only your FTP details and your database details to upgrade OpenX for you.

Question:

We provide one plugin for this feature.
This will send mail to the publisher, when a user complete successful conversion by clicking on the publishers zone.
The publisher will get a mail text box in his zone section where he can set Email ID, this will send mail to notify the publisher about each and every successful conversion.

Lets the publisher to know about each and every conversion.
The publisher will get a mail for each and every conversion.
It is very useful to the publisher.

I have a website built in ASP and OpenX running on a separate Unix server. There are two things that I am requiring assistance with.
1. I am using OpenX as more of a dynamic content management tool. Once someone lands on the site and we know specific important things about them that would determine what content they would see, like language, geography, referring url, etc., we want to have those variables or referring traits follow them to subsequent pages so that the correct content continues to appear.

You are saying that “I am using OpenX as more of a dynamic content management tool.”. So, can you tell us how you are using OpenX dynamically in details?

Here, are you asking us to make changes in your site such that those variables will pass in your subsequent pages? .

So, time for this work will depend upon how many pages you have in your sites

2. I need to install code in the ASP webpages around the OpenX tags that would test whether content was delivered from the OpenX application and if not, would insert a default image or html instead. The problem, as I understand it, is that the best way to do this is by using the XML-RPC invocation codes. Since the website is written for ASP, I was told that an XML-RPC library and a custom script would allow this type of solution to work. Anyway you feel this could be done would be fine.

I think we can use javascript code to display.

I hope that you can help me finish the site by providing these functions. Please let me know the approximate timing.
